THE MILK CRATE CLUB series
The Milk Crate Club was an odd sort of club with a name that gave nothing away. Its members, six very different kids, had only one thing in common. But the one thing was so huge, it ensured they would become the very best of friends. What was it? Well, music, of course! These kids really loved music, and they loved getting together each week to share their creations, discoveries, joys, lesson, and challenges with each other. If you are a kid who loves music, too, then come along and join in the wonder - the Milk Crate Club is waiting for you!
HANNABELLE'S BUTTERFLIES
Hannabelle is a young girl with a terrific musical talent, and an equally terrific fear of sharing it in public. Is it possible that she is not the only one with these unwelcome butterflies? Can she find a way to perform in spite of the nerves, and maybe even make those butterflies dance?
Praise for Hannabelle's Butterflies:
"I love it!! Great story, fun and diverse characters, addresses anxiety empathetically and just enough so kids could relate but without making it a big enough deal to create anxiety in them, and provides so many strategies to overcome it!! Plus, it's lovely... I'm a fan, and can't wait for the next two!"
-Dr. Wendy Sims, Curators' Distinguished Teaching Professor, Music Education, University of Missouri
